The second Indian Air Force AW101 (intended to be ZW-4306) based at Newquay from 15 May 2013, joining ZR339. A third AW101 was due to join them shortly. They were used to train IAF crews on the operation of these VIP transports. The Indian contract was cancelled due to a financial dispute, and this aircraft was reported to have been delivered to the Indonesian AF on 19 January 2017 as H-1001. However that deal also seems to have turned bad, the helicopter reportedly being impounded by the police prior to delivery. Current status is uncertain.
